Property Value

X509CertificateRecipientServiceCredential

An X509CertificateRecipientServiceCredential instance.

Examples

This code shows how to specify the certificate that a service uses.

A ServiceHost class is created, followed by a single complex code statement that does the following:

Credentials property is used to access an instance of ServiceCredentials.
The ServiceCredentials instance then invokes ServiceCertificate.
The ServiceCertificate property returns a X509CertificateRecipientServiceCredential object, on which the SetCertificate method is then called.

Uri a = new Uri("net.tcp://MyMachineName/tcpBase");
Uri[] baseAddresses = new Uri[] { a };
ServiceHost sh = new ServiceHost(typeof(SayHello), baseAddresses);
sh.AddServiceEndpoint(c, b, "Aloha");
sh.Credentials.ServiceCertificate.SetCertificate(
    StoreLocation.LocalMachine,
    StoreName.My,
    X509FindType.FindByThumbprint,
    "af1f50b20cd413ed9cd00c315bbb6dc1c08da5e6");
sh.Open();

Remarks

You can specify the certificate to use by calling members of the X509CertificateRecipientServiceCredential object returned by this property.

You can also set this value using the <certificate> element in a client application configuration file.
